Lt (Legato Time): The glide plate will send its messages using CC #104, which the
EWI5000 uses for Legato Time. This is the time during which a note ends as a new
note begins. Shorter times will result in more abrupt changes between notes, while
longer times will result in more fluid changes that sound almost slurred. (This is
different from portamento, though, as Legato Time does not shift the pitch of any
notes.)
If you select this, press the Trans Button to set additional parameters:
o En (Enable): This determines whether CC #104 output is enabled or disabled.
If you select this, press and hold the Trans Button, and press the Hold Button
or Interval Button to turn it on (On) or off (OF). When it is on, a dot will appear
in the display.
o dU (Data-Up): The value that will be sent with the CC message when you are
not touching the glide plate. Press and hold the Trans Button, and then use
the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value (00127; values over 99 will
be shown as the last two digits with a dot between them).
o dP (Data-Press): The value that will be sent with the CC message when you
touch the glide plate. Press and hold the Trans Button, and then use the Hold
Button or Interval Button to set the value (00127; values over 99 will be
shown as the last two digits with a dot between them).
CC (Continuous Controller): The glide plate will send a MIDI Continuous Controller
(CC) message. If you select this, press the Trans Button to set additional message
parameters:
o En (Enable): This determines whether CC output is enabled or disabled. If you
select this, press and hold the Trans Button, and press the Hold Button or
Interval Button to turn it on (On) or off (OF). When it is on, a dot will appear in
the display.
o Cn (Controller Number): This is the CC number that will be sent when you
touch the glide plate. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the CC
number (01127; values over 99 will be shown as the last two digits with a dot
between them). Match this number to the CC number of the parameter you
want to control.
Important: We recommend setting En to off (OF) before changing this
parameter to prevent accidentally muting the EWI5000's output while moving
through CC #7 (Volume).
o dU (Data-Up): The value that will be sent with the CC message when you are
not touching the glide plate. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the
value (00127; values over 99 will be shown as the last two digits with a dot
between them).
o dP (Data-Press): The value that will be sent with the CC message when you
touch the glide plate. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value
(00127; values over 99 will be shown as the last two digits with a dot between
them).
